NEW TRACK: Malka - 'Wrap It Up'

With a name that means ‘Queen’ in both Hebrew and Arabic, it’s no surprise that Malka‘s music commands instant attention. Her catchy melodies and infectiously upbeat tracks are effortless in their attempts to make listeners get up and get moving. Tamara Schlesinger (aka Malka) uses the simplest of techniques to create the biggest pop sounds.

New track ‘Wrap it Up’ – taken from her new album Marching to Another Beat – boasts a perfect beat for dancing to and lyrics that will make you break out in spontaneous singing sessions on the dance floor. Malka’s voice is clear, controlled and assertive, holding its own over the dominant, driving force of the drums.

In a recent interview with Gigslutz Malka stated that as a teenager she “loved Kylie through to Radiohead and Crowded House”, and she simply loves “a good song really” – and that’s exactly what ‘Wrap It Up’ encapsulates in its bouncing, poppy, rhythm. It’s a “good song” that’s easy to love.

Accompanied by a stylish, handmade, lyric video, ‘Wrap It Up’ ricochets between quiet and loud, culminating in an instantly memorable pop track that is uptempo and a breeze on the ear drums.

Malka’s new album, Marching To Another Beat, is out now, you can buy it here. And Malka will be a special guest on the next Gigslutz Girls’ New Music Show on Hoxton Radio on 27 August – make sure you tune in!
